Some of the “Get the Look” projects I choose
just to see how closely I can duplicate them, but some I choose
because I think they’d look good in my home.
This week’s project I wanted for my home..jpg)
The inspiration for it came from this
Antique Farmhouse Refectory Candelabra,
.jpg)
I have lots of old wood and antique glass insulators,
so this seemed like a great way to use some of them.

My husband cut the holes in the wood for me.

I dry brushed white paint and distressed it, then added the eye screws
and some strips cut from an old canvas bag to hang it with.

I think this will be nice to use indoors or outdoors.
Although I have real candles burning in this photo,
for safety’s sake, I’ll use battery tea light candles in it normally,
since I used fabric, rather than metal chain.
It cost me nothing, since I already had everything I needed for the
project and just took about an hour of time from start to finish –
most of it was figuring out what parts to use.
Blessings,
Angie
Ironically, I was thinkingat first that the first photo was of your inspiration piece! I like yours a THOUSAND time better!!! I especially like your insulators and your dry brushed white board. And, that is giving me some ideas, since I see those insulators around and have always thought they were kind of pretty, but never know what on earth I would do with them. Now I know! Thanks for sharing!
I also think your one looks better….can see the love you put into it. We don’t get glass insulators over here, but I think the small vintage fluted tin molds could work.
Turned out GR8….:o)
That was just well….wonderful! Your piece is outstanding and I know other folks would love having one of your great creations. I also have never known how to use insulators and they are plentiful! Humm more yard sales here I come. thank you for sharing!
LOVE it!! Agree, I like your version best 🙂 Laurel
Another clever knockoff. Pretty soon they are gonna have to bring you on board so you quit being their competition.

I like your version better. I’d do something like this, if I had a location for it….thinking thinking thinking… Gonna Pin this. Thanks
I love that you made yours from things you had on hand. That’s always my quest…never to buy new! You did a great job. Love the graphics, too. Thanks for providing them!
love this, Angie!!!
Inverting the insulators to use as candle holders is genius! Pinning this. ~ Maureen
Oh… I love it!

Wow! I love it! Add me to the “I like yours *a lot* better” camp!
I love the canvas strips and how beautifully they coordinate with the white paint on the wood.:) Just beautiful!

What a great idea! I have insulators too:)
Very creative idea. Love it!! 🙂
I love this Angie,even better since you had all the stuff to create this awesomeness,I think we have some of those old insulators and I know we have old wood,I want to copycat..and “pin” on my pin board on pinterest.
ps I’m new follower…and I just stuck a “pin” in it.
I agree with everyone!! Your copycat is better than the original! Hugs, Penny
That is the coolest insulator project I’ve seen. Absolutely love it! And I agree with everyone else as well; yours is so much better than the original!
So pretty!! You did a great job! Gotta love free projects 🙂
